- "No, not really. I'd just forgotten we can't use our beckon call here, that's all. We'll have to get an airbus to our landing platform."
- ―Vanto
An airbus,[1] or air bus,[2] was a type of air transport vessel found on planets such as Coruscant during the reigns of the Galactic Republic[3] and its successor state, the Galactic Empire.[4]
Shortly before the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala traveled incognito in an airbus to board an AA-9 Freighter-Liner bound for Naboo.[3] The largest of Coruscant's air buses could carry up to a thousand passengers.[2]
